if you could do a trip anywhere in north america (say you have 2-3 weeks for this trip) where would you go and what would you do?

i never think of traveling,until someone suggests to me, 'you should do some traveling.'

when i was going to school in s.f.,i'd wake up at 3:45 am five days a week,and catch the first train out of sacramento. i miss the feeling of getting to my destinationwithout the responsibility of getting myself there.i'd sit at the window and stare out into the opennessor sleep and dream of the possibilities.(i just wrote that and suddenly wanted to kick my own ass)

traveling by rail, with it's many stops,allows one to see all the inbetween spotsfar from the major highways and thoroughfares.and traveling by plane would be out of the question.rail is pretty much worry-free.no gas needed. no speeding tickets. no worrying about other (drunk) drivers.so that's what i've come up with this morning.(the last hour was spent making this sweet map!)

(click it to see it bigger)

i'd start in sacramento, head south to los angeles.and then make my way eastward.obviously, i would get my ass off the train and dive into every town and wilderness i found myself.who knows where i'll end up.

fyi: i took liberties drawing the dashed line.it isn't meant to be accurately representational.but it gives you an idea of the path i'd like to take.

also, i'm too lazy (and running out of time)to go into detail on the reasonsi'd visit each of those places.

three coronas and i'm good, thank you very much.i'll be heading home now.now that it's half past four in the afternoon.(give or take. in this case, take.)and it was free!or so it was, until next time we're out drinkin'.i thought for sure, the giant super (or was it super giant) burrito would soak up most of the al-key-hol.nope! it didn't.so i walked the three or four blocks with a drunken strut,underneath clear skies and a sunny... sun.i could have come up with soemthing more clever than sunny sun.but as you now know. i'm not in the best frame of mind to be writing so eloquently.here's to afternoon intoxication!cheers!

no really, this is not something i should be writing about.and i should probably erase this post when i'm in my right mind.'til then!
